[TD="class: alt1, bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]First up is a Joe Flournoy custom fighter. Specs are as follows.

-Forged 5168 steel, temper line very clear
-Handle is stabilized Black Ash burl
-Guard & Buttcap: 180 Layer Damascus from 01 & mild steel
-Overall length is 10.5", blade from guard to tip is 6.1"

There are a few light scratches on the blade toward the spine from what I would assume are from handling. Difficult to see, even more difficult to photgraph. HAs to be held a certain way in correct light to see them. Wood is clean and shows no sign of wear, same as the guard and buttcap.

Mr. Flournoy is currently a Mastersmith. The Blade is not marked other than 'Flournoy', so I would assume that it is from earlier in his career. Card that accompanies it just says 'Bladesmith' under his name.

Comes with a custom sheath from Rowe's Leather. Knife fits nice and tight and held securely, set up for vertical carry. No issues to speak of with the sheath.

Shipped in large black zippered pouch.

$550 shipped and insured



Up next is a Pohan Leu 'Bluephin' titanium framelock folder.

OAL is 9.8" open, 5.38" closed. Cutting edge approximately 4".
Frame is .125 thick titanium, bead blasted.
Blade is .125" CPM 154 steel.
Strong detent to keep it closed, locks up tight and blade is centered when closed.

Frame shows some marks, but no scratches. Marks are typical of a blasted finish. Edge is still sharp, as I have not touched it up. It has been carried, but used little.

Comes with a black velcro pouch.

Purchased new from TNK in January.

$450 Shipped and insured.

Not interested in trades at this time.
